Syria’s Victory Is Turning Point For Western Global Hegemony

March 31, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - Since 2011, Syria has been the target of an attempted foreign-backed regime change. Riding on the momentum of the US-engineered “Arab Spring,”
protesters took to the streets across Syria, serving as cover for armed
militants the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia – on record – had been
preparing since at least as early as 2007.

“To
undermine Iran, which is predominantly Shiite, the Bush Administration
has decided, in effect, to reconfigure its priorities in the Middle
East. In Lebanon, the Administration has coöperated with Saudi Arabia’s
government, which is Sunni, in clandestine operations that are intended
to weaken Hezbollah, the Shiite organization that is backed by Iran. The
U.S. has also taken part in clandestine operations aimed at Iran and
its ally Syria. A by-product of these activities has been the bolstering
of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a militant vision of Islam and
are hostile to America and sympathetic to Al Qaeda.”

Syria’s
destabilization was ongoing alongside other Arab nations, including
Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. In Tunisia and Egypt, the fallout was
political, with limited street violence. In Libya, the fallout was
absolute – the nation utterly decimated by so-called “freedom fighters”
later revealed as Al Qaeda militants of the Libyan Islamic Fighting
Group (LIFG).

The West’s blitzkrieg across North
Africa and the Middle East took many nations by surprise. Their
inability to respond effectively to orchestrated “color revolution” have
resulted in 3 years of regional destabilization, regime change, and
even war.

In Syria however, the government and the people held on, and then, began fighting back.

It
was clear by January 2013 that Syria’s security forces had turned the
tide against the foreign-backed militants who had for 2 years been
flowing across their border and sowing deadly chaos across the Middle
Eastern nation. Irreversible gains were being made everywhere from the
north near Syria’s largest city Aleppo, all along the Lebanese border,
and particularly in the southern city of Daraa, the so-called
“birthplace” of the “uprising.”

The
Western media continued portraying the situation in Syria as fluid,
with the Syrian government teetering and their militant proxies on the
verge of making a breakthrough. In reality, desperation had set in
across Washington, London, Riyadh, and Tel Aviv. Attempts to provoke a
wider war with direct Israeli attacks on Syrian territory were
carried out but with no effect, and by August of 2013, the West had
grown so desperate to directly intervene to salvage their floundering
proxy forces, they even staged a false-flag chemical attack on
the outskirts of Damascus. Much to the West’s dismay, the false-flag
attack not only failed to provide them with the pretext needed for
direct intervention, it severely and perhaps irreparably hobbled their
credibility and international standing.
